VELOSIT® WS 805

Swellable thermoplastic gasket for segmental structures

Product Description

VELOSIT WS 805 is a swellable gasket manufactured from a blend of proprietary thermoplastics and swelling agents compounded to produce a re-swellable seal of unique swelling ability. VELOSIT WS 805 is used to seal joints between pre-cast segments.
VELOSIT WS 805 is the result of many years in the field testing and research. VELOSIT WS 805 is used to seal joints between pre-cast segments.

Typical Applications

  • Sealing between pre-cast segments
  • Sealing between potable water pipes
  • Sealing sewage & wastewater pipes
  • Waterproofing of wall/slab joints

Features

  • Profile includes 2 protrusions to form double parallel compressible sealing lines
  • 450% swelling capacity; fully reversible for an unlimited numberof cycles
  • High water retention means delayed shrinkage when dry
  • Dimensionally stable; does not wash-out like Bentonite waterstops
  • Delayed swelling; volume increase starts after approx. 2 weeks ofcontact with water allowing water curing of precast units and/orplacing of segments and pipes in wet conditions
  • Swelling pressure resistant to 5 bars hydrostatic water pressuresup to 50 m acc. to EN 12390-8e
